not so serious anymore

another defeat in my journey here in melbourne. nope, it's got nothing to do with academic requirements rather it is about a 3-on-3 basketball game. PPIA (indonesian-australian student organization) is holding an olympics in august and each state are allowed to send teams for basketball. there were only 2 teams competing to represent victoria and mine was one of it. of course we didnt win therefore the olympic-slash-holiday getaways to brisbane and gold coast can be confirmed going down the drain.

im just so pissed at the way the other team played (this might just be an excuse for consolidationg my lost). it's been a while since i played basketball with other girls, exception for nunik and nana. i forgot that there is a particular style that they used, which is grabbing the ball like in a cat fight. i hate it so much, which let me to not focus on getting the ball in but to actually figured out a way not to be pissed at them. which is not the best strategy to win a competition. anyways.. i lost a fair bit. but at least i scored some points, blocked their drive, and got several rebounds. this is my consolation. though it was only a 15 minute game, i was almost suffocated in the middle of the second set. guess im just not that young anymore. although i must admit that they played better (not so much of a difference in capability) and more solid but they play like a girl.

i just dont take basketball that serious anymore, nor that i've ever take it that serious. but i am sure back then basketball was a serious thing at some point in my life. oh and too bad nana got injured only after a couple of minutes playing, so i can argue that the team was not in full speed, however anggi is the best scorer. i should've given her the ball more and let her shoot instead of worrying that it will lead to a turnover. oh and erie was our referee.

here's the photo of the gang. from left to right: Jane (manager), Nunik, Me, Anggi (top scorer), Nana (the one who got injured after the 3rd minute).
